"The 10,000-Hour Rule"

Frank recalls the story of Owen Meany, a character in a book he read as a young man that somewhat imperfectly explains how hidden talents emerge when you least suspect them. In this episode, we talk about the importance of practice and repetition to master any skill professionally or personally. In this episode:· Past behaviors are an accurate predictor of future performance· Skills translate across industries and from company to company· Go where a company values (and pays) for your specific skillsets· Your performance certainly won't speak for itself (you need to be a marketer)· Get results, but do it in your unique way· You can't expect to catch much fish with only one hook in the water
